was paid for the champion Plymouth
Rock cockerel at the New Orleans Ex-
position, two years ago. 1t was raised
by Hon. Sid Conger, of Indiana, who
divided his time between his poultry

There are instances on record
of bantams being sold for as
high as $50 each. Taking into
consideration their weight, which is
less than two pounds, this is rather
dear chicken meat. The special value
in this case was due to the bird having
won first premium at the Crystal Palace
and other English shows. The value of
thoroughbred fowls depends on their
comparative merit, which is determined
by a system of scoring. Expert judges
compare each fowl with standard of
excellence which allows 100 points for
perfection, and deducts therefrom for
every fault or deficiency that the fowl
possesses. 1t requires careful and sci
entific breeding to produce fowls that
will score ninety or more points, and
such birds always sell at good prices.
Rare specimens scoring from ninety-six
to ninety-eight points are literally worth
their weight ir gold.

most other things, and very change

Good health, good morals, good sense and
good temper, are the four essentials for a
good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages of
good looks, accomplishments, family posi-
ton, etc. With the first four, married life
will be comfortable and happy. Lacking
either, it will be in more or less degree 2
failure. Upon good health depends largely
good temper and good looks, and to some ex-
tent good sense also, as the best mind must
be affected more or less by the weaknesses
and whims attendant on frail health. Yonng
man, if your wife is falling into a state Of
invalidism, first of all things try to restore
her health. If she is troubled with debili-
tating female weaknesses, buy DIR. Pierce's

HAGGARD COMPLAINS.

MT. Rider Haggard, the author of "She" and number of other highly sensational (which means successfully novels, is justly disgusted at the treatment his reputation is receiving in America. The following was re- gently sent by him to the London Tsmes:
 Those who are sanguine among us find signs that indicate the coming of a climax in the matter of American copyright. Something must be done soon. Either the foreign author must finally and forever be pronounced to be outside of the law, or his right to some remuneration for his work, how ever humble the amount, must re- ceive legal acknowledgement. For my own part, being one of the san- guine, I believe that the sense of justice of the American people will in the end triumph over the sense of the es- tablished interest of piratical publish CTS and the natural repugnance of the AtShto VI O ACdG ACuol1IS puOllC kO dO justice to the authors who amuse and interest them at the cost of few dol lars per annum drawn from their pockets. In this position of affairs, while we, whose interest is chiefly at stake, watch for the rising of the wind that will either bring our ship in or finally wreck it, the moving tale of new development of the present system may prove to be of value. Such tale am able to unfold, and, in my opinion, it is one that will show the most ardent advocate of free trade in books to what an incohven- tent and indecent length the principle is pushed.
 A short while since received a let ter from an American correspondent informing me that a book had been published under my name which he suspected had not been written by me. To-day I received copy of the book, of which the cover bears the following imprint (the full stop after "She" should be notedD:-

Chinese Dread of the Wet.
.Tsin Chinese Times.


 In western lands it is a proverbial saying of one who is peculiarly stupid that he does not "know enough to go in when it rains." In China, on the contrary, the saying would be altered so as to read: "He does not know enough to stay in when it rains," and to Chinese the idea that human being has any functions which can be harmomzed with the rapid precipita- tion of moisture can only be intro duced by trepanning. The Tien- Tsin massacre of 1870 might have been quadrupled in atrocity but for a timely rain, which deterred the row. dies already on the way to the settle ment. A portable shower would be one of the most perfect defences a traveller in the hostile sections of China could desire. We are confident that steady stream of cold water, delivered from a two- inch nozzle, would disperse the most violent mob ever seen by foreigner in China in five minutes of solar time. Grape shot would be much less effectual, for many would stop to gather up the spent shot, while cold water is some- thing for which every Chinese, from the Han dynasty downward, enter tains the same aversion as a cat. Ex- formally or internally administered, he regards it as alike fatal. The re- mote causes of their deep seated an- tipathy to wet weather lie imhedded in the Chinese constitution, but the proximate causes, in our view, are twofold--the porosity of cotton cloth and the absolute scarcity of dirt. To our readers these reasons will no doubt appear inadequate, not to say frivolous; but this, we believe, is be- cause they have not reflected pro- foundly on the subject. Why the Chinese should persist in wearing cloth shoes we do not pretend to say, but wear them they certainly do. Damp feet are not only uncomforta- ble; they are dangerous to health. Oiled boots are luxuries for the few, and in seven cases out of eight he who goes abroad when 1t rains win do 1t in cotton cloth shoes, which will be ru- ined. He has no light sandals.
